KILLED HIM IN sELF-DEEENsE.

The Peculiar Letter From an Indian
Agent to Commissioner Atkins
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Indian Commits
sioner Atkins has received the following
letter from Indian Agent E. Osborne, at
the Ponca, Pawnee and Oloe Agency, the
Indian Territory, under date of April 2,
1887:
"With a profound sense of regret I have
to report that in discharging, yesterday, F.
M. Smith, q farmer at the Oloe agency, for
general bad conduct upon the agency, but
chiefly because of his ungovernable tenn
per, which was continually being turned
loose upon both employers and Indians, /
had to kill him in self-defense. He had re-
peatedly threatened to kill the clerk in
charge, Mr.. Young"
Mr.. Osborne is from Gallatin, Tenn, and
has been in charge of the agency since Au-
gust, 1885. Smith was one of his own ap-
pOintees.

THE FISHERIES.
Cleveland and His Cabinet Consider
at Length England's Attitude
on the Fisheries.
The Canadians Fire a Shot at a

the Three Mile Limit.
CABINET COUNCIL.

Several Important International Questions
Discussed.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE cabinet met
at II o'clock to. day in accordance with the
plan for the summer months and remained
in session over three hours. The meeting
was devoted almost entirely to the consid-
GRAFTON of international questions. The
most important were those relating to the
Canadian fisheries, the policy of Great
Britain in regard to the Island of Hayti
and the seal fisheries of Alaska. In regard
to the fisheries question it is understood
that information has been received to the
effect that England sustalns the position
taken by the Canadian authorities, and is
in no wise disposed TO make concessions
as requested by this government. This
question was considered by the cabinet
with view to the advisability of suitable
action by the president under the provi-
slons Of the retaliatory act. The alleged
demand of Great Britain for possession
of Tortugas islands on the payment
by the Haytian government of $1,OOO,OOO
In settlement of old claims, was considered
at some length. The United States have
great interests in Hayti, commercial and
otherwise, and are deeply concerned in its
welfare and prosperity. A correspondence
will be opened with Great Britain on this
subject. The Alaska seal fisheries were
discussed with view to their protection
from foreign interference. 1t is repre-
sented that the interests are now threat
ened by the wanton and wholesale slaugh-
| ter of seals in the open ocean. 1t seems
that during the day the female seals leave
their young on the shores of the islands in
charge Of the males while they go
miles away IN search of food with
which they return at night. Recently
practice has sprung up of catching the
female seals While they are in search of
food. Their, young perish, as matter of
course, and the perrpetuation of the animals
is endangered. The difficulty of controll-
ing this matter arises from the alleged
want Of jurisdiction of our government
over the waters beyond the three-mile
limit. The question will be again consid-
cred at future meeting.

A Mammoth Casting.

GERS are much pleased over the result of
the attempt made at Thurlow, Pa, to cast
a steel stem for the new cruiser "Balti-
more" now building at Philadelphia. The
piece weighed $4,000 pounds and was cast
without defect Commander Evans has
just examined and tested this casting and
pronounces it to be excellent. He says
that it is probably the best piece of steel
casting ever done in this country, and the
result of the casting is more remarkable
and encouraging from the fact that success
was obtained at the first ATTEMPT.

ENGLAND'S DEMANDS.

She Will BOmbard Venezuela Ports if Her
Claims Are Not Settled.
HAVANA, April 6.-Advices from Porte
au Prince, dated March 26th, say, 'The
excitement continues throughout the re-
public over the demand of England for the
possession Of Tortugas island or the pay
ment of $1,OOOOOO in settlement of claims.
1t is reported that special British envoy
has presented Englands ultimatum and
has threatened bombarding OF the prln-
cipal ports of the republic after the lapse
of five days if England's claim be not ac-
knowledged. There is great CONSERVATION
among the foreign residents, as it is said
the Haytiians will inaugurate general
massacre of foreigners if the president
yields to England's demand"

A Loving Message From Minneapolis
Lady to a Dakotan.
MINNEAPOLIS, April GA budget of let
ters, much marked by postofice officials,
is causing great trouble to two families in
Minneapolis. The missives were origin
ally addressed to "Mr. Arthur Wellington,
Paramount, Richland county, Dak.' The
writer appears to be Mrs. E. E. Lille. who
resides here. Mr.. Wellington IS con-
tractor who works in Dakota. There is
also a Mrs. Arthur Wellington, and the
said letters have caused Mrs. Arthur to
prepare to institute proceedings for divorce
against her spouse. Mr.. Lille is a con-
tractor and lives in Dakota, but as far as
can be learned, he is not associated in
business with Mr.. Wellington. Mr.. Well
ington does not live with Mrs. Wellington,
and has not for some time. Mr.. Welling-
ton, and Mrs. Lille were excellent friends,
as the letters show. During January Mr..
Wellington was in Paramount, Dakota,
and it was then that the letters referred to
were addressed to the gentleman, MI.
Wellington has those letters in his posses
sion now. In one OF them the following
passage occurs: 81 want rest from house
work, and shall go east and stay all sum-
mer, if you don't get divorce by that time
or there is some sign of it. 1t will be better
for us all for me to be out Of M. while you
are trying for one: and then she can't say
you are after me. Dear old sweetheart, do
my foolish letters do you so much good in
your lonely, dreary life? If so, you shall
have them when I am able to write. Oh,
l sometimes think, will he ever love me
less for the past? I hope not for it would
kill me dead if you did not love as we'll as
my mind you do love me for myself alone"
A comely woman, about forty years old,
inclined to corpulency, came to the door at
405 Seventeenth street, south. this after
noon.
'Yes, am Mrs. Lille" she answered, II
know nothing about the letters. l have
nothing to say in regard to the matter. I
suppose the whole thing originated from
Mrs. Wellington.'''
